In January every year, South Africa pauses to take stock of its future as the National Senior Certificate results are released. Across the country, families celebrate hard-won passes, distinctions circulate on social media, and schools proudly showcase their top achievers. These moments matter.
They reflect perseverance in a system that routinely asks young people to succeed against formidable odds
Yet as this year’s results were announced, I was thousands of kilometres away, attending an international symposium on entrepreneurship education at Babson College in the United States.
This is an institution widely regarded as the global epicentre of entrepreneurship education. The contrast was not merely symbolic, it was instructive.
South Africa celebrates educational milestones with ceremony, but too often fails to connect schooling to the economic realities young people face once the applause fades. Each year, close to 900 000 learners write matric. Roughly 650 000 obtain the certificate.
A more coherent approach would embed entrepreneurship as a learning method across the schooling journey, invest in educator capability, and strengthen institutional links between schools, communities, and the economy.
This includes exposing learners to real-world value chains, entrepreneurs, and economic problems
Standing at Babson, surrounded by educators from across the world, one conclusion became unavoidable: countries that thrive will be those that equip their young people to act, not merely to qualify.
Celebration is important. But transformation is essential. If we get entrepreneurship education right, matric results will no longer mark an ending, but the beginning of multiple, credible futures.

The European Parliament on Tuesday approved legislation implementing the EU-U.S. trade deal, marking the final parliamentary step before the agreement formally takes effect.
The legislation removed most tariffs on industrial and agricultural goods from the United States and added safeguard mechanisms, stipulating that the agreement would remain in force until the end of 2029 unless renewed.
It also allowed the European Union (EU) to suspend the agreement if Washington fails to honor its commitments or takes measures that disrupt trade and investment.
U.S. President, Donald Trump had threatened to sharply raise tariffs on EU exports if the bloc failed to implement the trade agreement by July 4. As a next step, the legislation would be submitted to the Council of the European Union for approval.
Once formally adopted, it would enter into force on the day following its publication in the EU’s Official Journal. The EU and the United States reached a trade agreement in July 2025.
Its approval within the EU was delayed for months amid strained transatlantic relations, including tensions over Trump’s demands regarding Greenland and legal uncertainty surrounding the administration’s sweeping tariff policy

Some 1,500 Indonesian students have taken to the streets of the capital to protest against a series of economic policies by the government of President Prabowo Subianto, as Southeast Asia’s biggest economy faces mounting fiscal pressures amid a global supply chain crisis.
Demonstrators in Jakarta outlined five key demands for the government on Friday, particularly the lowering of fuel and food prices.
They also urged the government to roll back state welfare programmes they say are expensive and “wasteful”, including Prabowo’s flagship free meals and village cooperative initiatives.
Called the “Heading to Bankrupt Indonesia” protests, demonstrators donned yellow university jackets after Friday prayers and marched towards Jakarta’s central monument, the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, where they gathered and voiced their frustration
Organisers told reporters that some protesters were blocked from joining by the police and military officials. Scuffles broke out as some students attempted to break through the police lines and metal barricades
This week, the government introduced a 32 percent price hike, angering many.
In addition, demonstrators on Friday called for more targeted spending. The $15bn-a-year free meals programme, which aims to reduce poverty and malnutrition, for example, has been the subject of a corruption probe, with Prabowo firing the programme’s head in early June
“Wasteful spending on free meals has led to a fiscal situation where subsidies initially provided had been withdrawn,” student protester Rafael Arreva told the Reuters news agency while standing in front of a police blockade
Protesters also demanded an end to the expanding role of the military in government, saying it was a threat to the country’s young democracy
The government is in denial about the current situation,” Yatalathof Ma’shum Imawan, who chairs the student group that organised the rally, told The Associated Press. “We urge Prabowo to have the courage to acknowledge his mistake and stop denying it.
Indonesia last saw mass protests in August when demonstrators called for housing reforms. Clashes between protesters and security forces left at least 13 people dead
